What does “Universal law of gravitation” actually mean in Gravitation, and why does it matter for JEE?
every two masses attract with F = G·m₁m₂/r² along the line joining them.
In simple words: every two masses attract with F = G·m₁m₂/r² along the line joining them. Getting Universal law of gravitation clear matters because JEE questions on Gravitation usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Universal law of gravitation
Common mistake
forgetting the force depends on 1/r² — doubling the distance quarters the force.
Memory tip
it's an inverse-square law, so distance matters a lot.
